Cuisinart 'PerfecTemp' Teakettle

First to recommend

Description

This tea kettle goes far beyond your basic teakettle. It has a built in temperature gauge that lets you know then the water is the right temperature for each kind of tea (oolong, green/white, coffee, black/herbal). I never even knew that water temperature was important for brewing different types of teas! It's easy to read and even has a "pleasant boiling whistle". Why didn't they think of that a long time ago?

Tea Spot Automatic Teapot at CHEFS.

First to recommend

Description

This is a great tea gadget. You simply put your looseleaf tea into an infuser in the middle, pour boiling water over it, place the top half in place, and set the timer to the appropriate tea (green, black, etc.). Then, when the timer goes off, it will automatically remove the tea leaves from the water and you can pour your perfeectly brewed cup of tea!

Stainless-Steel Tea Measuring Spoon

First to recommend

Description

My favorite thing about this measuring spoon is it's description as "hotel style". Who doesn't want to feel like they're in a hotel when making tea? It measures out the perfect amount of loose leaf tea for one 8 oz cup, and adds a little luxury at the same time.

Round Tea Bag Squeezer

First to recommend

Description

This is such a handy gadget to have. It's usually such an awkward mess trying to get your tea bag out while squeezing all of the rich goodness out of it. Not squeezing it out could mean losing some of the yummiest brew! This streamlines the entire process. A great gift for tea drinkers!

Dancing Spoon: Portable French Press

3 people recommended this item

Description

These are great. They can be used for french press coffee or loose leaf tea on the go. Once I went french press, I cant go back, but it stinks having to wait for it to brew and such if I need to be somewhere. This is a great solution. It would also be good for camping or Burning Man, but it's only big enough for one cup so if you have thirsty campmates you'll need something bigger!

CHEFS - Triple Tea Timer

3 people recommended this item

Description

I never realized how important timing was when making tea. Anything longer than 5 minutes is sure to get a little bitter. This timer is a great way to make sure you get the teabag out before your brew gets too strong or bitter. This is a great accessory or gift for tea lovers!

Tea cups with saucers are a must if you want to turn your tea time into a sophisticated and valued experience. These are made by Bodum, a company whose products always impress. The tea cups are handblown doublewalled glass cups, which keep your tea hot (or cold) longer while the outer surface remains cool. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, and their stainless steel saucers are dishwasher safe, as well. Sure to add some class to your next cup of tea. A great gift for any tea lover, as well.

Stovetop English Teakettle

First to recommend

Description

First, this tea kettle looks eclectic enough to be the design base for your kitchen. Second, it reduces boiling time by 25%. It is a handmade chrome plated copper kettle that holds 2 qts of water, for use only on gas stovetops! But, it looks positively brilliant and is sure to make your tea time a little more British.

Spice Nut Mate Herbal Tea

First to recommend

Description

Mate Tea is delicious. It has caffeine in it but it doesn't make me jittery like coffee does. Mate naturally has xanthines blended with the caffeine, which are said to reduce the crash and addictive qualities you feel after drinking a cup of caffeine or soda. That said, I drink it often and I get that buzz I need without the shaky cravings for more a couple hours later. This is "spice nut" mate made by Teavana, which has cocoa, coriander, pistachio, and macademia nut flavors blended with red peppercorn and orange peel essences. Yum.
